Underground work, especially in basements, gives you a golden opportunity to expand your building into a functional work or storage space. Piling is a fundamental aspect of deep foundation construction especially when the quality of the ground’s soil isn’t sturdy enough to withstand heavy loads from a building. In today’s article, we are going to be covering the basics of what you must consider when completing piling projects underground, so without further ado, let’s begin.
When completing any piling foundation project, safety comes first, and this leads us nicely into point one.
- Soil Examination and Analysis
The first step to completing any piling project safely and correctly is to examine the grounds before starting anything. Understanding the conditions of the soil will give us an idea of the quality we will be working with. This will help us decide what type of piling foundation method will work best for your construction project.
Doing this will help avoid any risks in the future such as settling, pile failure, and building deterioration.
- Choosing the Type of Piles
Next, we are going to use our ground analysis to decide which type of piles are the most suitable for your project. This step is crucial because choosing the wrong type of pile foundations could risk sinking or excessive settlement due to building exceeding the weight limit on the foundations.
These are just two of the points that are crucial in our piling project process. However, if you would like to find out more about the process we complete, please contact us and we would be more than happy to advise you further.
